Mary was so warm and sweet . Charli is an Aussie and active. She had a great time with Mary. They went for walks and played with toys. I would recommend Mary.

Charissa is so loving and mindful of our boy and the additional guidance he needs as a blind pup. Charissa always goes above and beyond in sharing updates and showering our boy with attention. Thank you for giving Bruno a safe place to stay.

Madison and Jett became great friends instantly and I felt confident leaving him in her care. She is an experienced Golden Retriever owner and I appreciated her tips on training and meal schedule. Jett was super tired, so I know he got lots of playtime and loved being Madison s roommate! Highly recommend Madison!!

I loved the video updates Madison sent while I was on vacation. She made sure I was at ease and I trusted her as this was my first time boarding both my pups. I would definitely book again!

Yappy Hour at the Ritz-Carlton
Once a month you can bark your calendar for the Yappy Hour at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in nearby Laguna-Nigel! Proceeds from this event go to the Wounded Veterans Initiative of Canine Companions for Independence. This playful party features specialty drinks for all. The pooches get to partake of water in doggy-licious flavors of bacon, chicken, beef, or vegan. Meanwhile, their humans can relax and savor Mutt Lynch Unleashed Chardonnay, Merlot Over and Play Dead, or Chateau d’Og Cabernet Sauvignon. There is barbeque available to feed the fun and cravings of this affair!
Rails to Trails
The San Clemente Pedestrian Beach Trail hugs the picturesque shoreline of Southern California. The trail parallels the rail from the North Metro and leads pedestrians and their puppers between the rails, beach and cliffs full of natural flora. The trail will lead to a bridge that serves as a boardwalk over sensitive beach habitat. The trail will take you to the Pier Bowl trailhead where there are shops, restaurants, and picnic areas. The trail is groomed but unpaved and narrow in parts. One reviewer described this trail as too perfect to be true! Both human and dog will excite at the sunshine, sights, sounds, and smells of the trains, ocean, and life along the way.
